This workshop covers a general introduction to engaging with ethnological collections as primary resources in anthropological research. Making use of the Marshall University Ethnological Collection, it encompasses a mini research experience, designed to pique student interest in collections research and introduce them to basic skills and concepts. The workshop will combine seminar learning with hands-on skill development, alternating between individual study and group discussion of findings and their implications. ALL students are welcome (pre-registration requested). See full workshop details in PDF.

Public Presentation and Discussion: Collections and Communities: Facilitating Connections through Material Culture

Where: Drinko Library 402

Time: 5:00-6:30 PM

Museum collections tend to conjure up a passive, silent image. Typically, from a public perspective, they sit quietly either in a display case or tucked away in storage. However, when museum professionals and researchers think creatively about access and knowledge-making, collections objects reveal themselves to be dynamic, living pieces of their cultural environments. This presentation and discussion will center on the potential of collections to foster dialogue and lasting relationships between museums and their communities, both local and global.
